    About this property

    • Braystone House and Braystone Cottage comprise a mid 19th century Victorian farmhouse with an attached turn of the century addition, set within a semi rural plot of about 4.79 acres, on the edge of the popular village of Aspley Guise. The property enjoys a range of outbuildings suitable for use in a variety of leisure and business activities and offers scope for significant extension and improvement, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents.

      The property has six rooms on the ground floor plus a conservatory, shower room and guest cloakroom. The main rooms are accessed from a central reception hallway which has the staircase, with two used as kitchens, one serving the cottage to the rear which is self contained. There are five bedrooms, a family bathroom and further wc on the first floor with one of the bedrooms accessed from the cottage at the rear.

      Directly to the rear of the house, separated by a walkway, there is a 46 ft double storey brick built stable block comprising coach house, stable, tack room, ancillary storage and hay loft barn which could be incorporated into the main body of the house, subject to planning, which would greatly increase the available accommodation and would suit a variety of uses.

      Beyond the barn there are a variety of further pole barns, sheds and shelters extending the total built area of the property to in excess of 5,000 sq ft. Formerly used as an agricultural contracting business, these offer a fantastic opportunity for those looking to store machinery and vehicles or as workshops as required by an incoming buyer.

      The grounds of the property extend to the sides and rear of the house and there are two vehicular access points to the road. There are formal gardens surrounding the house, with about 3 acres of the land currently designated as a county wildlife site, boasting features such as ponds, diverse hedgerow, trees and a bat hibernaculum, all of high conservation value.
